So i got the Asus MX279H a few days ago purely for console gaming. Hooked my PS3 up to it and it looked like garbage. The XMB menu and every single game looks like poo. Everything is blurry and jaggies are multiplied by 10fold especially when you get into a game. Yes the response time is amazing, but the graphics are pathetic. I've come to the conclusion that computer monitors are meant for computers... NOT FOR CONSOLES!!! Stick to big screen TV's gentlemen!

PS: I was lucky enough to return the screen with allmy money back yesterday. I was also wondering why Itachi wasn't replying to this thread and any of my PM's regarding this monitor. It all becomes clear now...

About 200. I didn't want anything bigger than 32, so maybe a 24/27" for my bedroom becaUse it's only small and I always sit close to the tv. 2/3 feet away. Only way I can get in the zone.

I have a 32" 720p HDTV and I sit just about 2 to 3 (max) feet away, typically 2.3 feet is optimal for me. Any further and it just doesn't feel right for gaming (works for movies though). I honestly don't know how a bigger set, like a 42" and above, would work for me as I like to sit close.

However if you are using a 22" 720p HDTV, and are used to that, I suggest a 24" 1080p monitor. You can get some pretty dang good ones for under $200 too. And monitors blow away HDTV's by far too, as they are meant to be extremely detailed while sitting really close

Asus monitors I have found to be pretty decent, and they are priced right too.

When you say calibrating, do you mean bumping up the sharpness, contrast and so on, on the monitor? If so, then yeah i fiddled with all of the settings and nothing made it look even remotely better.

I think it has to do with console scalers and monitors not having decent in-built scalers. TV's on the other hand do, consoles will look more crisp and clear on a 80inch TV when compared to a 24" top of the line monitor, because of the TV having much better in-built scaling software/hardware.

I have been using a 24" Samsung LCD Monitor for the past 3 years or so. It is quite good Monitor, but i'm not sure if it's necessary or will it make that much differnce if i upgraded to LED, What do you guys think ?!
